Looks interesting @eulerr . Are you planing to add other non-engineering roles?

@zeusoft thanks! Yes we are, probably somewhere at autumn. We'll keep you updated!

Like the graphics and idea! How do you combat the obvious issues of Visa sponsorships/accepting contracts across borders? Is it U.S. only? Europe only? Will there be different sprints in regards to that or do you make sure that applying companies are fine with working with candidates outside their country of incorporation?

I just got a rejection email because someone probably less technical than me glanced at a couple open-source projects on my GitHub and didn’t like some changes. One comment even specifically taking issue with changes that Apple’s IDE makes with white space (so this person is clearly ignorant of mobile development). If you don’t get someone in there who knows more about software engineering, or at least someone who realizes that a person’s best work might be in hidden repositories, you’re only ever going to have mediocre engineering talent. I’ve been doing this job for >4 years and never once worked for a company that made its repos public so people were able to see my work. Seems like you’re really only interested in people with enough free time to contribute to a bunch of open source projects, which excludes 95% of experienced full time engineers in the States. Anyway, just a little feedback about it. I’m not actively looking for a new job, but figured I’d sign up to see what it was all about. Since now I know that the review is so arbitrary, I definitely won’t be sharing with my communities, and literally just created an account on this platform to share this.

@nictheawesome hello. Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it! We have a 3-step onboarding on our platform where first step is verification of your skills by GitHub code review or tech task. You've chosen GH code review but as there were nearly no code to review we had to reject your request. We totally understand that the best projects could be in hidden reps — in this case you can choose to solve a tech task or find a workaround to show us a working code. We providing personal experience to each of our talents by understanding their needs, preferences, strengths, weaknesses and desires in terms of future job. To do that we have to have a serious assessment process that can assure us that we're dealing with great technical talent. I'm really sorry that you were rejected by mistake — to show your experience and skills you need to provide a code at 1st step. And I hope you may give us a second chance when you'll be looking for a new job.

@eulerr I would recommend making it just a bit more obvious what your methods are for assessing someone's skill level. When I attached my GH, I was under the impression that it would be used to determine whether or not the person actually codes (like looking at the year activity or something), I didn't realize someone was going to be making a judgment on it. I'd also recommend offering a specific example of what you're looking for with code (a website that does X, an iOS app that does Y, etc.) to make it more clear that someone signing up is doing more than simply "creating an account". That would make it much simpler for people signing up to know what you're actually looking for as opposed to getting to the end of the sign up process with a "surprise, hope you have some good code on there!"

@nictheawesome thank you for the tips! We'll work on our onboarding to make it more clear.

@eulerr I signed up in 6nomads almost 6 weeks ago. I went through the code review and interview process. The experience was delightful. Review I got from the interviewer was also really good. But during the sprint I did not get any interview from prospective employers. Most importantly I tried contacting 6nomads team to update me regarding the status, but there has not been any response for last 3 weeks. Till now I have applied for almost 78 remote jobs in last 8 months but unfortunately haven't landed even a single interview.

You criticise traditional recruiting that sends “Sorry, can’t offer you the job” but do the same thing by sending a “Review Rejected” from a noreply e-mail with no context to WHY I didn’t meet the criteria. First, what’s the criteria? Second, provide your reasoning and feedback to believe the criteria wasn’t met. Third, be more positive and human with your language. “Feel free to apply again in the future” doesn’t motivates anyone and again doesn’t provide context to when someone would meet that said criteria. I’ve been a developer and a product designer for 10 years, recently took a startup from nothing to a successful global business, being the only product designer. Please send me another response with some feedback on from your perspective what I was lacking and how I can improve.

Signed up 3 weeks ago, still didn't receive any further information :(

@voznik Facing the same issues. None of people in 6nomads team seem to respond. :(

I would be nice to tell people that java is not supported before you go through entire process and supply your linkedin and GitHub profiles.

@tilespacegame Roman, java is supported: we're gathering companies and talents to start a sprint in August-September. Please stay tuned!
